Danladi

Danladi, who is 33 years of age and married with five children, lives in a rural town in Kaduna, Nigeria. He lives in a small community where maize farming is the major occupation and means of livelihood. Due to a lack of access to quality seeds, it has become difficult for farmers to achieve high yields to make a higher income.

Before joining Babban Gona, Danladi’s main challenge was lack of training and education, lack of access to credit, and lack of storage facilities. Danladi is hereby requesting a loan to buy high-quality seeds, fertilizers, and other essential inputs for his maize farming operations. Danladi wants to double last year’s yield so that he can attract more customers, thereby increasing his revenue. At the end of the season, Danladi plans to use the profits he earns from his harvest to pay healthcare bills, pay his children's school fees, and buy books and uniforms for his children.
